Failure of Air-Brakes.

That there is room yet for an improvement in
the air brakes is quite evident. The accidents
from their failure to perform in emergency
are becoming entirely too common. Whether the
engineer or the master mechanic of the road or
the brake itself is in fault should be demon
strated. Some of the prudent engineers often
become nervous lest in an emergency their brake
will not work when they are running at high
speed. One engineer says that the causes of
their failure are often hidden which makes il
all the worse A Philadelphia paper states
that on the well-managed Pennsylvania road
through the failure of the air-brake. G four
times this year engines have done damage in
Broad street station, and would have done more
had it not been for the good fortune by which
heavy distractions were in the way. In each
case the trouble was failure of the air-brakes,
and the recent accident at Havre de Grace was
directly traceable to the same cause. OF course.
the hand brakes are always available, but brake
men get careless, and unless in constant practice
are apt to neglect the cal! for brakes.

Pleased with American Railways.

After all that is said about the superiority of
English over American railways, foreigners
who come here more than pleased with our
roads and the manner they operated The
Earl of Aberdeen, in conversation with re-
porter of the New York Sun, said, after making
a transcontinental trip: II have taken consid-
cradle interest IL the railroads you have here,
and think they complete
my I've seen during my travels, es-
which / came from Niagara Falls. The four
tracks are an advantage away above anything
I've seen. 1t saves time, avoids accidents and
helps to make the passengers think they of
more consequence than common freight. l have
never enjoyed a trip as did the from the
falls. To sit in one of your Wagner cars, thun-
dering along at the rate of fifty miles hour
through fertile valleys, and at frequent intervals
passing long freight trains running in the
direction, proves an enjoyable novelty not to be
found in any other quarter of the globe"

If servant girls and other folks will kindle the
kitchen fire with kerosene. the American Artisan
recommends several simple precautions which
will lessen the danger. Tho most obvious pre-
caution IS not to pour the oil directly from the
can upon the fire. A common mistake is the
of too much oil. In this case the gas generated
chokes the draft, a series of explosions of more
or less power, according to the amount OF oil
used, throws the flame out into the room, and
the starting of the fire is not nearly SO much &C
celebrated where less oil Is used Not only is
the use of more than a couple of spoonfuls or so
OF oil positively dangerous, but IL is also waste
full. Pieces of wood corncob or any porous
substance saturated with the oil may be showed
under the fuel in the fire box. Or a spoonful or
two of oil may be poured into little spice can
tim or the cover of a baking powder can and
dropped upon the fire. The frst-named way is
however, the best.

The Largest Farm in the World.

Tho largest Farm IN the world.
In the extreme southwest corner of
Louisiana lies the largest producing farm
in the world. 1t runs 100 miles north and
south and twenty-five miles east and west,
and is owned and occupied by n syndicate
of northern capitalists. Their general
manager, J. Il. Watkins, gives IN inter
esting account of this gigantic plantation,
which throws the great Dalrymple farm
of Dakota into the shade completely.
He WIS cOrnercd by y reporter at the st.
James Hotel last night and asked TO give
the particulars of this gigantic enterprise.
'The million and a half acres of land in
our tract" Mr.. Watkins said, was pur,

and from the United States Government.

he best adapted to rice, sugar, corn and

"All our %cultivating, ditching, etc, is
done by steam power. We take a tract,

A young man who called on a young

cat On a rug. Pussy seemed to be content
with its nest, for the parlor had beer

When the young lady appeared the little
sister bowed politely and wen out of the
room. Once during the evening the cal
started toward the doorway, but its owner
hastily closed the door and sent it back by

curbed no longer, and lie inquired why
she was so anxious to keep the cat in the

one was insisted upon, when she said;

Archer replied: about $1,000" His

p..a.cooked Sunday Meals.

The commonest sight of early Sunday
morning in the cheap quarters OF an Eng
Iish city is the people carrying their am
ners TO the bakers to be cooked IN tneir
ovens. When the last batch OF bread Is
drawn the ovens are filled with joints ana
noultry. which are delivered, at q moderate
price, piping hot for the table. Years ago,
in smaller communities, the practice was
observed here, but i never encountered

The providing of ready cooked meals Is
another growing trade. The cooked meat
shon is as notable a feature Of Paris as the
bakery dinner is of England. 1t has ex-
;sted and thriven here for a long while,
principally by the patronage of the French
and German population. Latterly, how
ever, it has taken a wider popularity,
among the natives. One dealer in cooked
meats now runs several shops in various
parts of the city, and new men in the bust
ness are constantly springing up. Many
people who live in flats rely on these shops
for the solid portions of their meals, only
cooking vegetables or fancy dishes al
home. IL does not save any money direct
